The goal of the GKB was to increase process efficiency with a standardised core banking application and to leverage economies of scale at both the infrastructure (IaaS/PaaS) and application levels. Outsourcing a large part of IT to Inventx provides additional relief for internal resources and ensures stable, cost-efficient operations.
